Swaco Mongoose shale shaker is one of my favourite shaker in the world. What is the difference compare with other shakers?And How do shale shaker work?

The best possible solids control requires what once seemed impossible, a shaker that can adapt as solids characteristics change. The ground-breaking design of the MONGOOSE shaker allows operators to use linear motion while drilling top-hole sections where heavy, high-volume solids such as gumbo are usually encountered. In these intervals, shakers need to generate high G-forces to effectively move dense solids across the screens. But as conditions change, the MONGOOSE shaker can be adjusted “on-the-fly.” With the flip of a switch on the control box, motion is reconfigured from linear to balanced elliptical without shutting down the shaker. Operating in the gentler balanced elliptical mode, solids encounter reduced G-forces and longer screen residence time. This results in drier solids, improved drilling fluid recovery, longer screen life and reduced operating costs.

The MONGOOSE shaker replaces the typical flow line trap (possum belly) with an innovative distribution box. The unique design of the box increases fluid handling capacity by redirecting flow evenly across the entire width of the screen. It also dampens the velocity of fluid from the flow line for more effective solids separation.

In addition to its unique dual motion and revolutionary distribution box, the MONGOOSE shaker is available in two models, the MONGOOSE PT and the MONGOOSE HS. The MONGOOSE PT is built to accommodate pre-tensioned screens while the MONGOOSE HS is configured for hookstrip screens.

The fantastic place is that it can adopt both linear motion and balance elliptical motion without shutting down the shaker. For treating the oil drilling fluids, the balanced elliptical motion shaker is 20%-30% bigger then linear motion shaker, discharging speed is 10%-20% faster; For resisting the “screen stuck”, “screen paste” “horseshoe effect” ,the balanced elliptical motion shaker is much more effective.
